  • the steering handlebar 4 when the vehicle body is supported by the side kickstand 25 disposed on the left side of the vehicle body, the steering handlebar 4 is often fully steered to the left side including in use of steering wheel lock.
  • the distance between the steering handlebar 4 and the lid member 40 is largely ensured.
  • the operability on the lid member 40 is ensured without influence from the steering handlebar 4 to the access to the lid member 40.
  • the rear end of the steering handlebar 4 is positioned above the lid member 40, thus ensuring protection of a lid part from a falling object and the like.
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating an open state of the accessory socket S according to the embodiment.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the open state of the accessory socket S.
  • the fixed portion 50 covered with the socket S has an upper end portion that slightly projects upward from the top surface portion 30a of the side cowl 30.
  • the lid portion 41 of the lid member 40 is coupled to the fixed portion 50 via a coupling portion 45.
  • the lid portion 41 includes a cylinder portion 43, an annular convex portion 42, an annular recess portion 46, and a positioning protrusion 42a.
  • the cylinder portion 43 is inserted into the insertion port Sa of the socket S.
  • the annular convex portion 42 has an outer diameter fitted into an inside of the lid portion 41.
  • the annular recess portion 46 is formed between the cylinder portion 43 and the annular convex portion 42.
  • the positioning protrusion 42a extends to an outside in a radial direction of the annular convex portion 42.
  • a cutout 32a is formed at the opening 32 disposed on the top surface portion 30a of the side cowl 30. The cutout 32a extends outside in the radial direction.
  • the cylinder portion 43 of the lid portion 41 is inserted into the insertion port Sa of the socket S, and a top end surface of the fixed portion 50 is inserted into the annular recess portion 46, and the annular convex portion 42 is inserted into the opening 32 of the side cowl 30.
  • the positioning protrusion 42a of the lid portion 41 is engaged with the cutout 32a of the opening 32 to restrict rotating movement of the lid portion 41. This prevents the lid portion 41 from rotating when the lid portion 41 is closed, and ensures maintenance of a clearance between the lid portion 41 and the upright wall 31.
  • the lid portion 41 is arranged such that one of the acute angle parts of the diamond shape of the lid portion 41 is positioned at the front of the outside in the vehicle width direction.
  • the coupling portion 45 is positioned at an obtuse angle part at the inside in the vehicle width direction of the diamond of the lid portion 41.
  • the positioning protrusion 42a is positioned at the rear of the inside in the vehicle width direction. Accordingly, the lid portion 41 will be opened in a direction from a vehicle-body left rear side toward a vehicle-body right front side. Thus, lifting the lid portion 41 by hooking a finger to the outside in the vehicle width direction of the lid portion 41 ensures opening of the lid portion 41.
  • a recess portion 44 for hooking a nail or the like is formed at the proximity of the obtuse angle part at the outside in the vehicle width direction, thus further facilitating opening operation of the lid portion 41 by the left hand of the occupant.
  • the positioning protrusion 42a and the cutout 32a are formed in a direction different from an open and close direction of the lid portion 41. Thus, friction resistance is less likely to occur at a part of the positioning protrusion 42a in opening or closing of the lid portion 41 to improve the operability.
  • the lid portion 41 is configured to stand in itself at an approximately perpendicularly opened position with respect to the top surface portion 30a of the side cowl 30 by abutting a rear portion of the coupling portion 45 on a front portion of the fixed portion 50. This eliminates the need that the occupant supports the lid portion 41 by hand when the plug at the electrical device side is inserted into the socket S, thus ensuring improvement of the usability of the accessory socket with a simple structure without increasing the number of components.
  • the lid portion 41 in the open state does not approach the upright wall 31 to fall to the vehicle-body front side.
  • FIGS. 7 , 8 , and 9 are cross-sectional views of the lid member 40.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a component itself.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates the open state of the socket S when the lid member 40 is mounted on the vehicle body.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a closed state of the socket S when the lid member 40 is mounted on the vehicle body.
  • a predetermined clearance T is disposed between the opening 32 formed on the top surface portion 30a of the side cowl 30 and the fixed portion 50 covered with the socket S.
  • the coupling portion 45 couples the lid portion 41 to the fixed portion 50.
  • the coupling portion 45 is housed in a back surface side of the side cowl 30 in the closed state of the lid portion 41, and is extracted outward from the clearance T in the open state of the lid portion 41.
  • the fixed portion 50 has an upper side through hole 51 having a dimension adjusted to that of the insertion port Sa of the socket S. Meanwhile, the fixed portion 50 has a lower side through hole 52 configured to be smaller than an outer shape of the socket S, and to be fixedly fixed to the socket S with elastic force of the synthetic resin.
  • the coupling portion 45 of the lid member 40 has a sheet-shaped belt portion 45a and a supporting convex portion 45b that projects from this belt portion 45a in a direction of the fixed portion 50.
  • the belt portion 45a is extracted outward from the clearance T.
  • the supporting convex portion 45b has a thickness dimension having a size that can pass through the clearance T.
  • the lid member 40 is formed of an elastic body such as the rubber. Thus, even if the lid member 40 has a thickness approximately identical to that of the clearance T, the lid member 40 can pass through the clearance T.
  • the supporting convex portion 45b abuts on an upper end outer periphery portion of the fixed portion 50 in the open state of the lid portion 41.
  • a curved recess portion 47 is formed at the supporting convex portion 45b to stably support the lid portion 41.
  • the curved recess portion 47 is curved to fit the upper end outer periphery portion of the fixed portion 50.
  • the lid portion 41 when the lid portion 41 is closed, the cylinder portion 43 of the lid portion 41 is inserted into the insertion port Sa of the socket S, the top end surface of the fixed portion 50 is inserted into the annular recess portion 46, and the annular convex portion 42 is inserted into the opening 32 of the side cowl 30.
  • This can prevent moisture and the like from intruding into the socket S, and can prevent moisture and the like from intruding into the inside of the side cowl 30 from the opening 32 of the side cowl 30.
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view illustrating a state where a plug 60 of an electrical device is inserted into the socket S.
  • the lid portion 41 will be positioned between the plug 60 and the upright wall 31. This causes the lid portion 41 to less likely to be shaken even if vibration in travelling is applied, thus ensuring a stable use.
  • the socket S has the end portion at the side of the insertion port Sa, the end portion having the predetermined clearance T with an inner peripheral portion of the opening 32 to be inserted into the opening 32 from the vehicle-body lower side toward the vehicle-body upper side
  • the lid member 40 includes the fixed portion 50, the coupling portion 45, and the lid portion 41, the fixed portion 50 being covered at the end portion at the insertion port Sa side of the socket S, the coupling portion 45 being integrally formed with the fixed portion 50, and the lid portion 41 being integrally formed with the coupling portion 45 to cover the insertion port Sa of the socket S
  • the coupling portion 45 includes the supporting convex portion 45b having the thickness such that the supporting convex portion 45b can pass through the clearance T, and the supporting convex portion 45b is configured to abut on the fixed portion 50 when the lid portion 41 is opened, to maintain the open state of the lid portion 41.
